About CleanWIP Magazine

For readers, CleanWIP Magazine is a great place to read brief teasers from upcoming, but yet unpublished, works of authors who write toward the clean end of the spectrum. Readers can also expect to find articles, personal glimpses, free book deals, and new release announcements from these same authors.

We’re glad you joined us as we work together to bring you great content you can feel comfortable reading aloud to a room filled with strangers in a laundromat while waiting for your clothes to dry. (Results may vary.)

For authors who market their writings as ‘clean,’ we’re a friend in your corner. We aim to help with exposure and author networking. We also plan to add many great resources here.

About the #CleanWIP Author Hashtag Game

Why does CleanWIP Magazine do this?

CleanWIP Magazine hosts the #CleanWIP author hashtag game six days a week (Sunday through Friday) to help us find clean content to share with readers and to help us find authors who market their works as ‘clean.’ Our favorite #CleanWIP lines might be used in the magazine—always with proper author credit and almost always with social profile or website linking to the original post or tweet.

What’s in it for authors?

Exposure. We might use your lines in the magazine. Even lines we don’t pick for the site, you are sharing with your fans and doing so in such a way you’re also encouraging others, perhaps especially authors of the same genre, to share with their fans.

Author hashtag games also help authors clean their works-in-progress of overused words, improper use of homonyms, poor sentence structure, and all sorts of other things authors don’t generally like to send out to beta readers and editors.

We encourage writers of clean writings to create a public social network post or tweet with our #CleanWIP hashtag and an interesting line… or two… or three… maybe six lines if they’re really short… from a work-in-progress based on the posted theme.

To help us and other members of the author group find those posts & tweets, authors should also post a link to each one in the group’s thread for that particular day.

NOTE: Twitter does seem to still be the most relevant and compatible place for this type of author game/exercise, but if you bring a link to a proper #CleanWIP post you’ve created on any of the social platforms, we’ll certainly try to help it be noticed.

Coming Soon

We work closely with published authors and writers who are aspiring to be published as well as other creative people such as artists, poets, and songwriters in our CleanWIP Facebook group for authors (et al) and via the #CleanWIP hashtag game to bring readers interesting collaborative sneak peeks into their works-in-progress, full-featured articles, and also personal reflections on the thoughts and struggles from a rough draft to a published work.

Some materials on this site are submitted by others. Earl Chinnici and CleanWIP Magazine do not necessarily share the opinions of these other writers and they do not necessarily endorse this site.

We encourage authors to use the #CleanWIP hashtag to share sneak peeks related to the day’s theme from unpublished works. We also encourage use of the hashtag for a single relevant release day announcement. On Fridays, we relax the structure even further and encourage using #CleanWIP to share relevant news, interesting teases from a work-in-progress or published work (purchase links encouraged on Fridays), or something else our readers might love. Actual use of the hashtag is not within our control and even on this site we will sometimes share #CleanWIP content that doesn’t strictly meet these guidelines.
